Top York Observatory Hotel Reviews

Novotel York Centre

8/10 Good

"Was able to check in early which was a bonus. Breakfast was lovely and plentiful. Reception area spacious , clean and tidy. A lot of staff on hand to help. Location slightly abit too far from the centre if walking in and out frequently. 15 mins from Centre. 22 min from station ( however bus stop outside hotel which helps) We had a room on the 4th floor which was adequate in size, and noise from other rooms and corridor minimal. Drinks prices from hotel bar very reasonable."

Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly

8/10 Good

"Its cold, the hallways are warm, then the rooms are cold. Great size bed, brilliant size room, cleanliness good. Great location, 5 mins from the shambles, car park is expensive but that's not the hotels fault. Breakfast is like feeding the 5000, buffet style, too many people for me. Not a bad selection, and did cater for my coeliac wife who needs gluten Free., they provided gluten Free cornflakes and bread."
